I didn’t mix care, but at different times I was using as little as one or two days a week per child. If it’s a good centre, the staff will have no problem forming a bond with your son.

I think it’s better for consistency for your child to just be at one centre

I think some of my friends mix the care centers.

I don’t have my son in any care other than my own but I have friends who have used mixed care for their kids

Some people I know have done this. As others said, give it a try.

Give it a try and see how it goes. See if it suits you and your child, then go from there

Absolutely do-able! I don’t personally but have many families I know that share these types of care. It seems to work well that the child/ren have a mix of different carers as long as there’s consistency with those carers.

yes i did mixed care as they had benefits for both . year before school, I put into most days into preschool for school readiness

I was a country area FDCarer for 7 years and love the model as is more flexible to the babies needs. But I do not think scheduling should be your motivation for choice. I often had kids who did not suit the centre model. Some kids are stressed by the structure and social pressures of so many people. Better to remember it is not a one time decision but will need to be monitored to change if model does not suit your child.

Yes i agree, I would just give it a go and see how it goes

We only did centre but there are pros and cons to both. Give it a go mixed and see how you like the arrangement
